We lost our power last year from a tornado. We knew it would be some time before all the downed poles were re-done, so we stayed the night in a hotel where there was power. Another option, if you want to go this far, is letting your doctor know, they could admit you to the hospital.
The hotel option is tax deductible if you were to do that.

We have power strip that plugs into our car cigarette lighter. When we were on vacation I was able to run my nebulizer and vest from it (one at a time). Sounds like a generator is better but thought I'd mention it.

I toss my freezer bricks that I get with my mail order meds in a basket at the bottom of our deep freeze, and I also keep the big styrofoam containers that my meds come in (I used to think I was being a pack rat, but when the freezer died, turns out I was actually being prepared, lol). We also have a generator, and I got a Trek S with the battery/car hook up in case it is just a short outage.

Our power usually doesn't stay off long here though (at our last place, we were rural, rural, rural and it stayed out for days at a time), since there is a nursing home on the next road up, directly behind our house.

Oh, and kinda OT, but along the "emergency" lines, I made up business cards that have all my doctors (including what kind they are) and their phone numbers, and another card listing all my meds and then possible meds, and put it in my wallet. I gave copies to my husband, and I have extra copies for my parents, sister, etc.

When I first had oxygen delivered for overnight use a couple of months ago, they brought a large tank in addition to the concentrator that could be used if the power goes out. Don't all oxygen companies do this? Seems like a good idea to me.

I am also considering buying a generator in case the power goes out. I don't want to deal with not having my vest and nebs, and with possibly losing all the medicine in the refrigerator.
